The beginning of the semester is an exciting and terrifying time when you are in college. For me, the fresh start of a new semester is eclipsed by the sheer terror of starting over. All of a sudden the comforts of last semester are gone and a new routine must be formed—including the meeting and remembering of fellow students’ and professors’ names. It’s a lot of pressure—my memory is the worst.
There’s a new thing for people to be mad about in the city, thanks to a particularly foal and controversial new proposal being pushed by newly re-elected Vancouver mayor, Igor Smobertson: downtown horse lanes.
I’m looking for a textbook, and none of those dumb online sites ever seem to work. You find what you think to be a nice, good textbook, but then it turns out to be ruined on the inside or completely different than was let on by the pictures. I’m sick of it.
Last Friday, the Other Press confirmed via David Schwartz, 20, that his roommates had finally gotten around to their annual cleanup of their shared refrigerator. Although scourging of the fridge had been done in the past, the actual resurfacing of the act was considered an unlikely event by all involved parties.
Late last Friday night, police officers responded to what they believed to be an average noise complaint in Port Coquitlam. They were shocked to find that there were only two people involved, though they could be heard from down the street.
I recently had to fill out a sheet, outlining my plans and goals for the next two years—two years. I looked down at my next couple years of existence, glossing over birthdays, events, moments of stress and joy, arguments, sweet nothings, and all the rest that makes up the bulk of our lives.
Students are among the most frequent—and at times, excessive—users of caffeine. An average class is full of cups of delicious drinks providing students the energy they need to get through the day, no matter what time it is. Caffeinated beverages are even more prevalent during the winter months now, as a new semester begins.
“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.”
Pace yourself. For those who are working and going to school, taking a break periodically at the start of the year can do wonders. Let’s be honest, the holiday season is not as relaxing as you would have wanted it to be. In fact, some might say that running around, buying gifts, attending parties, and mingling with old friends and familiar relatives is as stressful as a communications project.
It’s terrible when someone passes away. Dealing with the death of a friend or a family member is one of life’s greatest challenges. Chances are, the loved ones of the recently deceased are hurt, angry, and confused.
